Dead simple AngularJS directive for the C3.js chart library
Installation is performed using Bower. The only dependencies are AngularJS and C3.js.
bower install angular-c3-directive
In your HTML:
<html ng-app="myApp">
...
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="d3.js"></script> <!-- Required by C3.js -->
<script src="c3.js"></script>
<script src="angular-c3.js"></script>
...
<div c3="chart"></div>
...
</html>In your JavaScript, you need to inject c3 as a dependency.
angular.module('myApp', ['c3'])In your controller, the object passed into the c3 attribute is the same as
that passed into c3.generate(), except without the bindto
property and without interaction callbacks (see Interaction below).
$scope.chart = {
data: {
columns: [
['data1', 30, 200, 100, 400, 150, 250],
['data2', 50, 20, 10, 40, 15, 25]
]
}
};The chart is updated whenever the object or any of its properties are modified.
If the load API can be used, it will be (unless disabled; see
Options below).
The model can also be watched to catch interactions that change it (e.g. clicking legend items to show/hide data).
$scope.$watchCollection('chart.data.hide', function(value, prevValue) {
console.log('data.hide changed!');
});Interaction with the chart is handled by attributes on the directive, rather
than callbacks on the c3 model. This is more consistent with how other Angular
directives handle events, such as ng-click.
For example, in your HTML (excluding the comments):
<!--
c3-data-click
Corresponds to data.onclick, with the following expressions available:
- datum: Datum clicked (corresponds to 'd' in data.onclick callback)
- event: MouseEvent of the click
c3-legend-click
Corresponds to legend.item.onclick, with the following expressions available:
- id: ID of dataset clicked (corresponds to 1st argument in
legend.item.onclick callback)
- event: MouseEvent of the click
- default: Function performing default legend item click behavior, may be
optionally called in your own handler
-->
<div c3="chart" c3-data-click="dataClicked(datum, event)"
c3-legend-click="legendClicked(id, event, default)">
</div>And in your controller:
$scope.chart = {
data: {
columns: [
['data1', 1, 2, 3],
['data2', 4, 5, 6]
]
}
};
$scope.dataClicked = function(d, event) {
console.log(d); // the data point clicked;
console.log(event); // the MouseEvent of the click;
};
$scope.legendClicked = function(id, event, defaultClick) {
console.log(id); // the ID of the dataset clicked;
console.log(event); // the MouseEvent of the click;
defaultClick(); // function performing the default legend click action,
// which may be optionally called
};The events currently handled in this way are:
Advanced options can also be passed in via the c3-options attribute. This
attribute is optional and specific to the operation of this directive; it
does not correspond to any configuration parameters of C3.js.
<div c3="chart" c3-options="options"></div>$scope.options = {
/* If true (default), detect changes to data and use the the load() API
* whenever possible to make updates; if false, regenerate the chart on every
* change.
*
* NOTE: because of the additional processing needed to detect loadable vs
* unloadable changes, you may want to set this to false if you have a
* high update rate or very large datasets.

useLoadApi: true
